Penny's new little sister?

Calling tonight to make an offer on this '68 Camaro.. well, it's a '68 Camaro with a '67 quarter, one less side marker to fill. lol Seems like a decent roller considering some of the turds I've looked at.

Whatch think?

No numbers matching 350/powerslide combo, rebuilt subrame


Original quarter with minimal filler


Clean floors, no rust. Original auto car


No rust in the cowl and the window channels look good. I think the car came from Arizona at some point.


Underside looks good.. grungy but no rust.

Passengers side quarter was replaced long ago. They did an "ok" job of it. The frame has a slight buckle. Should be about to fix it on the frame rack if needed.


Pretty sure the back panel was replaced with the quarter. Looks to be OEM parts (makes sense since they were done long ago.) Trunk lid is new as well.


Replaced quarter. Panel alignment seems decent. The "inner" areas are a bit rough. I bet it was an insurance repair back before these cars were worth anything.


All the trim and most of the parts come with the car. Missing the front glass but who cares.Can anyone ID this gearbox??? Doesn't look OEM, I have an idea who's it is but I want to confirm.


I ran the magnet sheet over the car. I could tell theres a little filler in the car, but since the glass is out I could look in and see it was a "poke and pop" deal, typical dent repair deal. No real rust issues that I saw.

What part of that car is a 67??

Looks like quite the find, as long as the $$ decent...go for it.

Actually.. I just ran the numbers and it's a '68.. The guy thought it was a '67 with '68 fenders but it's really a '68 with a '67 rear quarter. lol

He thought the windwings were in boxes with the rest of the parts. But the VIN says '68

Looks like a good roller, all depends on the cost? ( another girl...should be Penny's bad ass little bro)

I've always thought a great start would be from this place Mike Custom Cars- http://www.mikescustomcars.com/69bodies.htm#

Maybe not what what your looking for just a thought and doesn't make for a exciting start for a mag article. Add the cost of your roller then all the repair to get it to that stage seems like a fair price?



But back to the start..... did you buy it and for how much??

Hey Steve, what are your plans with the car?

Actually those bodies look pretty good.. prices seem "fair" for what you get.

I just got off the phone, I paid $5.900 which I think is pretty good for a solid roller.

It wouldn't be that hard to get running and on the road.. but I might as well start in on the fun stuff

I don't know.. I'm sorta torn.

Plan 1.

Budget build.. 5.3 LS truck engine.. modified factory subframe... suede black paint, killer wheels, C5 brakes .. A real track vibe, a look sorta like f-bomb.

Plan 2.

Nicer build (not Penny nice). LS7 engine or built LS3.. aftermarket subframe.. suede black paint, killer wheels, Big brakes, track vibe.. same as above.


I want the car to have a very sinister look. I'm open to ideas
